WABC Women's Ministry: Girlfriends

Girlfriends

There is nothing like the relationship you have with your girlfriend. She may be your sister, your mom, or a very special friend that you have known a really long time (you know the one that will tell you about yourself when you have done wrong, and then give you a big hug when you're broken and in tears?). One of my goals for the Women of Woodland Ave Baptist Church is that we not just be Sister's in Christ, but that we become genuine "girlfriends". That over time WABC becomes a safe place (haven) for women who are hurting, who are growing in their faith, and who want to develop a closer relationship with God.

Over the coming year we plan to hold activities that will strengthen us as a body of women. Our "Girl's Night Out Events" will include fun activities, bible study's geared specifically for woman, and events that will take us out into the community in which we live so that we may reach out to woman just like you and I (and even those who may appear different, but in fact probably have more in common with us then even we are willing to admit).

At this moment plans are in the works for our "Annual Woman's Day Weekend Experience" scheduled for Saturday May 23rd and Sunday May 24th. There will be a special event for our young girls that will be held on Friday May 22nd. The Theme for this event is "Healing Hearts". On that Saturday the women of WABC will attend a "Heart Spa" Workshop. Start making plans now to attend and be sure to invite a friend (a girlfriend). Let's just say you need to prepare yourself for a weekend of refreshment and renewal.

We are also checking into a trip to Washington DC for the "Woman of Faith" Conference that will be held July 31st - August 1st. More details on these events and the cost involved will be coming soon.

I am excited about where the Lord is leading the women of WABC. So get ready for the journey!

Our Vision

The Women’s Ministry of Woodland Ave Baptist Church exists to equip the woman of WABC to reach out into our community, to their family and friends with a message of hope and healing. WABC Women’s Ministry is committed to providing “Real” fellowship through Bible Study, Mentorship, Workshops, and various other events geared around woman from within and without Woodland Ave Baptist Church. We also strive to make a “Real” difference in our communities by providing hands on service to women and children.
